I would politely disagree. Let me give you an example.

I'm in Afghanistan with the Army and have been here since November. The other night I had "radio watch" so I decided I would watch a movie on my laptop. One of my interpreters (a local Afghan guy) was with me, so I decided to watch Charlie Wilson's War since it was about Afghanistan and I thought my "terp" would like it.

I told my terp that Tom Hanks was one of the biggest, if not the biggest American movie star. He had never heard of him.

There were some Bollywood actors in the movie and he immediately recognized them.

The only American movies and actors a lot of the rest of the world has heard of are Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Action movies are popular overseas. But they love Bollywood!

Again, just my experience here in Afghanistan!
